Eric Scheie makes note of a alarming hole in our airport security system: access for the disabled, and follows the trail to this observation: Even the largest, most secure buildings all have special parking for the disabled, and security is very sloppy, because people in wheelchairs are seen as victims, and associated either with pity or political correctness. Society does not want to inconvenience the diabled, and Americans are very generous, considerate people.

Compared to searching little kiddies and creaky-jointed grannies, this one needs special attention.
